Your First Class
Everything you need to feel comfortable, supported, and prepared before your first class on the carriage.
New to Lagree? You’re in the right place.
No previous experience is required—our instructors will guide you through every movement, transition and modification so you can move safely and confidently.
What to Expect
Each 45-minute class delivers a high-intensity, low-impact, full-body workout on the Mini Pro 2. You’ll move slowly and with control, keeping your muscles under constant tension for a workout that builds strength, endurance and stability.
Every class is instructor-led, with modifications and progressions offered throughout. Whether you’re brand new to Lagree or ready to challenge yourself, you can adjust the workout to meet you where you are.
Slow, Constant Tension
Moving deliberately eliminates momentum, activating deep slow-twitch muscle fibers for genuine strength and metabolic conditioning without joint impact.
The Mini Pro 2 Carriage
A precision-engineered platform with customizable spring tensions that provide immediate support, balance, and scalable resistance.
Progressions & Modifications
Individualized attention throughout every class ensures every posture is dialed in to your experience, comfort, and daily energy.
What to Bring
Come ready to move. Here is everything you need for your first session on the carriage.
Grip socks
Required for every class
Grip socks with sticky, non-slip traction soles are mandatory for safety, carriage stability, and studio hygiene during every class.
A water bottle
Stay energized & hydrated
Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout your 45 minutes of slow, continuous muscular tension and endurance.
Comfortable, fitted workout clothing
Allows you to move freely
Fitted athletic attire allows full range of motion while helping your instructor observe alignment, posture, and knee tracking throughout class.
Before, During & After Class
A step-by-step walkthrough of what to expect from the moment you arrive to your post-class cool down.
Before You Arrive
If this is your first class at Ritual, please arrive 15 minutes early. You’ll have time to check in, meet your instructor and become familiar with the Mini Pro 2 before class begins.
Your instructor will walk you through the machine, explain its key features and make sure you feel comfortable and prepared.
During Class
Your instructor will guide you through each movement with clear cues, demonstrations and support. Expect slow, controlled exercises, purposeful transitions and options to modify or progress movements throughout the class.
Lagree may feel different from workouts you’ve done before—and that’s part of what makes it so effective. Focus on your form, move at your own pace and remember that taking breaks is always encouraged when you need them.
After Class
Take a moment to cool down, hydrate and check in with your instructor. Let us know how you’re feeling and ask any questions you may have—we’re here to support you as you build your new ritual.
Take advantage of our cold towel service, hydrate at our filtered refill station, and celebrate taking your very first step on the carriage.
First Class FAQ.
Everything you need to know about starting your Lagree journey at Ritual.
Is Lagree suitable if I have never worked out or done Pilates before?
Yes, absolutely. No previous experience is required. Every movement on the Mini Pro 2 can be adjusted using spring tension, foot placement, and range of motion. Our instructors offer options throughout every exercise so you can safely build strength at your own pace.
How is Lagree different from traditional Pilates?
While both emphasize core strength, form, and alignment, the Lagree Method integrates high-intensity bodybuilding principles, constant muscular tension, and cardiovascular endurance on the Mini Pro 2. It delivers high-intensity muscle stimulation with zero joint impact.
Which class format should I book first?
We recommend starting with Lagree Foundations (45 min). This format introduces machine setup, spring resistance, carriage transitions, and core movements at a supportive, accessible pace before stepping into Full Body Ritual.
What happens if I arrive late to my first session?
For your first visit, arriving 15 minutes early is required so your instructor can walk you through the Mini Pro 2 and ensure your safety. For security and to respect the experience of all clients, studio doors close promptly at class start time, and late arrivals cannot be admitted.
Can I take breaks during class?
Yes, 100%! Lagree creates deep muscular burn and shaking. Taking a breath, grabbing a sip of water, or pausing for a few seconds is always encouraged whenever you need it. Listen to your body—consistency and form always come first.
How often should I practice Lagree each week?
For most clients, 2 to 3 classes per week is the sweet spot. Because Lagree works your slow-twitch muscle fibers to effective fatigue, giving your body 24–48 hours of recovery between sessions yields the strongest results in endurance, posture, and strength.
What is the studio cancellation policy?
We maintain a 12-hour cancellation window. Cancellations made at least 12 hours prior to class will automatically return the class credit to your account for future use.
